Hey, Mama! This Is Your Summer Too!
Running a business from home while your kids are off for the summer isn’t just about juggling schedules—it’s a full shift in rhythm, boundaries, and expectations. A few summers ago, I learned the hard way what happens when you try to do it all. Here’s what I’ve changed since then, what actually works for us now, and why I believe summer belongs to you too, not just your kids.
Starting Over, Again and Again
I used to believe I was behind. Thirty, newly divorced, raising two kids, and building a business from scratch, it felt like everyone else had figured it out, and I was starting over too late. But the past eight years have taught me something else entirely: there is no such thing as late when you're becoming more yourself. Life keeps shifting. We keep beginning. And that isn’t failure. That’s living with your eyes open.
Building a Business That Celebrates Life, Not Just Livelihood
To anyone standing at the crossroads, feeling the weight of expectation and the lure of the hustle, I offer this perspective: your worth is not measured by your output. Your ideas deserve space to breathe and grow. And perhaps, like me, you’ll find that in letting go of the chase, you’ll catch up to something far greater—yourself.
